Otherwise, they have a "girl" pirate ship set and a "girl" laboratory set
Is that the new "Friends" sets, Jessica? Because girl pirates would be awesome.

I've seen that pink gun here in a gunstore in Utah. Hubby had to ask me to stop being loud and horrified at the clerk. The clerk was blinking at me, all confused that someone would object to a gun to support breast cancer research. A) I despise the idea of pastel-colored guns, they're not a wardrobe accessory, and they're generally smaller-sized to appeal to kids, and B) I'm sick of "It's Pink! Buy this or you don't care about women!"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hmm, upon further inspection, the pirate ship set is Spongebob-themed.
But it shows up on the "girl" page: [link]
About half the stuff on that page is from the new series, the rest is old-school.

Because books.
Sara would flip if she had a SpongeBob pirate ship Lego set. As if she needs any more toys, of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Otherwise, they have a "girl" pirate ship set and a "girl" laboratory set
What's the difference between a girl laboratory and a boy laboratory?

People buy guns because of their looks as well as their performance all the time. That's not new, or female. Also, the smaller size is targeted to children? My understanding is that it's targeted to the usually smaller women's hands. Where do get the kiddy demographic info from?
Buy this or you don't care about women!
I don't even see that subtext, and I worked at a krav centre where some of the pink stuff was explicitly breast cancer fight-related, because the co-owner suffered from and died of breast cancer. No blackmail at all.
However, liking pink probably distracts from all that. If you don't like pink, there's no good reason you should have to wear or use it.

The girl lab comes with a girl minifig.

There's a Lego replica of Fallingwater! I WANT THAT!

Dag, when is somebody going to buy me the Lego Guggenheim already. How many birthday hints does a guy have to drop?
